Could you name a major web framework that implemented the MVC pattern prior to Rails?
- dagw 11y agoSpring? (Queue discussion on what is and isn't Real MVC(tm)) I will however agree that Rails probably should take most of the responsibility/blame for really bringing MVC to the forefront of web development
- techpeace 11y agoRight you are! I didn't realize it had beaten Rails to the punch by a year. But yes, I will stand by my claim that Rails was responsible for popularizing the notion in the wider web development community.
- davelnewton 11y agoThe "wider web development community" was using MVC; Struts and Spring built more websites than Rails did for several years.
- davelnewton 11y agoYou never said anything about web framework before, you said MVC. That's a different discussion. Although we were using MVC in Struts 1 back in what, 2001?
